1 Give thanks to God most high,
The universal Lord;
The sov'reign King of kings;
And be his grace ador'd.
'His pow'r and grace
'Are still the same;
'And let his name
'Have endless praise.'

2 How mighty is his hand!
What wonders hath he done!
He form'd the earth and seas,
And spread the heav'ns alone.
'Thy mercy, Lord,
'Shall still endure;
'And ever sure
'Abides thy word.'

3 His wisdom fram'd the sun
To crown the day with light,
The moon and twinkling stars
To cheer the darksome night.
'His pow'r and grace
'Are still the same;
'And let his name
'Have endless praise.'

[4 He smote the first-born sons,
The flow'r of Egypt, dead:
And thence his chosen tribes
With joy and glory led.
'Thy mercy, Lord,
'Shall still endure;
'And ever sure
'Abides thy word.'

5 His pow'r and lifted rod
Cleft the red-sea in two;
And for his people made
A wond'rous passage through.
'His pow'r and grace
'Are still the same;
'And let his name
'Have endless praise.'

6 But cruel Pharaoh there
With all his host he drown'd;
And brought his Israel safe
Through a long desert ground.
'Thy mercy, Lord,
'Shall still endure;
'And ever sure
'Abides thy word.'

Pause.

7 The kings of Canaan fell
Beneath his dreadful hand;
While his own servants took
Possession of their land.
'His pow'r and grace
'Are still the same;
'And let his name
'Have endless praise.']

8 He saw the nations lie
All perishing in sin,
And pity'd the sad state
The ruin'd world was in.
'Thy mercy, Lord,
'Shall still endure;
'And ever sure
'Abides thy word.'

9 He sent his only Son
To save us from our woe,
From Satan, sin, and death,
And ev'ry hurtful foe.
'His pow'r and grace
'Are still the same;
'And let his name
'Have endless praise.'

10 Give thanks aloud to God,
To God the heav'nly king:
And let the spacious earth
His works and glories sing.
'Thy mercy, Lord,
'Shall still endure;
'And ever sure
'Abides thy word.'
